About Us

The purpose of the Psychological Professions Network (PPN) South East Community of Practice is to connect all Psychological Practitioners, at all stages of their careers, across the region to:

  • Develop and implement an annual work plan that is consistent with the broader aims of the PPN-SE and is signed off by the PPN-SE Board
  • Provide a forum where members can share their collective knowledge and skills on clinical, professional, and workforce issues that are important to Psychological Practitioners
  • Have a joined up strategic voice for members at the PPN-SE Board, where key stakeholders across the region are represented and the work of the PPN-SE is steered
  • Represent this stakeholder group and contribute to collaboratively shaping the work of the PPN-SE and the delivery of NHS psychological healthcare
  • Contribute to any consultations that are relevant to the psychological professions and those aspiring to join psychological professions workforce.
